Services ### 3.1 Leaking Shower Repair — from $490 What it is: we stop shower leaks at the source by cutting out failed grout and perished silicone and rebuilding the joints with waterproof two-part epoxy grout. No tile removal and no demolition, usually ready to use the next day. Price: - Basic floor reseal — $490. Cut out the failed shower floor grout; seal the floor with waterproof two-part epoxy grout; flexible sealant at the base, waste and corners. - Plus reseal — $890. Everything in the Basic reseal, plus water-repellent, mould-resistant grout to the walls, so mould stops returning to the wet wall joints. - Guide prices are for a standard 900 x 900 shower. Anything larger adds $200. What the repair includes: no tile removal; failed grout and perished silicone cut out and joints cleaned; waterproof two-part epoxy grout installed into every joint; flexible resealing at the base, corners, waste and perimeter; fixed written quote confirmed before any work starts. Common signs of a leaking shower: - A damp or musty smell in the bathroom that will not clear - Grout that is cracked, crumbling or gone dark - Black mould along the shower base and wall joints - Water staining on the ceiling or wall below - Water pooling around the shower waste - Silicone that is peeling, black or pulling away Why showers leak: - Failing grout — standard cement grout is porous; once it cracks or wears thin, water runs straight through the joint into the wall and floor behind the tiles. Fix: cut the worn grout out and replace with waterproof two-part epoxy grout. - Perished silicone — the sealant at the base, corners and wall joints hardens, shrinks and pulls away, leaving an open channel into the wall cavity. Fix: remove the failed sealant and reseal every joint with durable flexible sealant. - Shower base and waste — a loose waste fitting or hairline crack in the base lets water bypass the tiled surface entirely and travel beneath the floor toward the room below. Fix: inspect the base and waste, reseat what is needed and seal the surround. - Wall-to-floor junction — a change of plane that always relies on a flexible seal rather than grout.

Price: from $1,690 — epoxy grout plus perimeter, doorway and step-down resealing. The price rises with the size of the balcony. Multi-balcony and strata projects are quoted per building. What the repair includes: no tile removal (existing balcony tiles stay in place); failed floor grout and perimeters cut out and cleaned; waterproof two-part epoxy grout installed across the balcony floor; perimeter, doorway and step-down joints resealed with flexible sealant; drainage and fall checked before we finish. Where balcony water gets in: - Balcony floor grout — the biggest culprit. Porous cement grout between balcony tiles soaks up water, which then sits on the slab and works its way down. - Perimeter and wall joints — the joint where the tiled floor meets the wall is a common entry point; when that seal fails, water runs behind the wall finish. - Doorways and step-downs — thresholds and step-downs flex with use; cracked sealant there lets water track back inside the living area. - Drainage and fall — if water pools instead of running to the grate, it sits on the joints and accelerates the failure of everything around it. Common signs of a leaking balcony: - Water dripping from the ceiling below - White, salt-like efflorescence on the tiles - Cracked or crumbling grout - Mould or damp patches near the balcony door - Water pooling or poor drainage - Peeling paint or damp stains on the wall below Honest limitation: this is a targeted repair of the tile joints and perimeters using epoxy grout and flexible sealant. It is not equivalent to a full membrane replacement, and we say so when a membrane is what the balcony needs. Document: https://sydneysealed.com.au/services/leaking-balcony-repair.md ### 3.3 Epoxy Grout Replacement — from $890 What it is: cutting out old cement-based grout and reinstalling a two-part epoxy grout in its place. The result is a hard, non-porous joint that resists water, mould and stains far better than the grout it replaces. Suits showers, bathrooms, balconies and splashbacks. Most standard showers and small bathrooms are completed in a single day. Benefits: anti-mould and mildew (a non-porous surface starves mould of moisture); waterproof by design; stain and grime resistant; wipes clean; far harder and more durable than cement grout; colour holds — from crisp whites to charcoal and warm earth tones, resistant to fading and yellowing. Where we regrout: - Shower floor grout — the wettest spot in the house and where grout breaks down fastest. Best for leaking showers and mould. - Bathroom floors — floor joints take constant traffic and water; a fresh epoxy line lifts the whole bathroom and turns cleaning into a wipe rather than a scrub. - Balcony tiles — outdoor joints cop sun, rain and salt; epoxy handles coastal conditions and keeps water on the surface. Epoxy grout colours stocked: 100 White; 103 Moon White; 112 Medium Grey; 114 Anthracite; 130 Jasmine; 120 Black. Samples are brought to the inspection. Care: wipe rather than scrub with a soft cloth and pH-neutral cleaner (no harsh acids); ventilate wet areas; check the flexible sealant at corners and perimeters once a year.

We cut out failed grout, treat the mould underneath, and rebuild the surface with waterproof Mapei epoxy grout — stopping leaks and eliminating mould without removing a single tile. Standard shower reseal from $490; full epoxy regrout from $890. 10-year waterproof warranty on workmanship. Why epoxy grouting over standard grout: - 100% waterproof seal — impermeable to moisture, sealing the joint completely and preventing hidden shower wall and timber floor leaks - Permanent mould and stain resistance — a non-porous surface that starves mould and stops black staining returning - No tile removal — we regrout over existing tiles, saving thousands compared with a retile or demolition - Durable Mapei products — premium industrial-grade Mapei Kerapoxy, engineered for tough Australian conditions Specialised regrouting services: - Shower & bathroom regrouting — removing old cracked grout, treating mould, installing Mapei epoxy grout and finishing with a fresh silicone perimeter seal - Leaking balcony regrouting — weatherproof outdoor epoxy sealing that stops water tracking into floors and units below - Tile & floor grout replacement — full floor restoration for living areas, kitchens and commercial wet areas where grout has discoloured or worn away The 3-step regrout and seal process: 1. Precision diamond grout raking — damaged, discoloured grout is raked out with diamond tooling, using dustless extraction 2. Epoxy grout application — waterproof Mapei Kerapoxy epoxy grout mixed and installed across every joint, finished flush for crisp even lines 3. Sanitary silicone perimeter sealer — corners, perimeters and change-of-plane joints finished with a flexible sanitary silicone expansion seal Document: https://sydneysealed.com.au/services/shower-regrouting-sydney.md ### 3.5 Strata & Body Corporate Leak Repair What it is: waterproofing and leak repair for strata, body corporate and apartment buildings — leaking balconies, shower leaks, planter boxes and failed waterproofing. Where the leak is from failing joints we seal from the surface with no tile removal, and we say honestly when a full membrane is the right call. Typical balcony repair from $1,690 (price rises with size and number of balconies). The leaks we fix most in unit blocks: - Leaking balconies — the single most common strata leak. Failed floor grout, perimeters and doorways let water into the slab and the unit below. - Shower and bathroom leaks — water escaping an upstairs shower often only shows as a stain on the ceiling below. - Planter boxes — they sit directly above habitable space, so a failed seal tracks straight into the ceiling below. One of the most overlooked strata leak sources. - Podium and balcony membranes — where the membrane has failed or the slab is damaged, surface resealing will not fix it. - Failed waterproofing — original waterproofing reaching end of life; we document what we find so strata can weigh a targeted repair against larger remediation. - Failed grout and sealant — porous cement grout and hardened silicone crack and pull away over time. Targeted epoxy grout and resealing vs full membrane replacement: - What it does: reseals joints, perimeters and doorways to close the water path / strips the area back and installs a new membrane - Tile removal: none, tiles and screed stay in place / yes, floor removed and retiled - Disruption: minimal, usually a single visit per area / major, demolition, noise and no access for weeks - Access: little or no scaffolding or lift bookings / often needs site access, lifts and longer bookings - Best when: the leak is from failing grout, perimeters or doorways / the membrane itself has failed or the slab is damaged How we work with strata and building managers: itemised scope of works per unit or common area; photo record of before and after for the strata file; scheduling around residents, lifts and access requirements; single point of contact for the manager or committee; workmanship warranty documentation; certificates of currency on request. Document: https://sydneysealed.com.au/services/strata-body-corporate-leak-repair.md ### 3.6 Emergency Shower & Balcony Leak Repair Position: emergency call-outs are available 24/7 across the Sydney metro on 0466 532 444. Most leaking showers and balconies come from failed grout and perished silicone, which we repair from the surface with waterproof two-part epoxy grout and flexible sealant, with no tile removal. The first 10 minutes: 1. Stop using the shower or balcony completely — every use pushes more water through the same failed joint. 2. Contain the water and protect what is underneath; move furniture, rugs and electronics away from a ceiling stain. 3. Do not smear silicone or filler over the wet joint — it will not bond and it hides the entry point the inspection needs to find. 4. Photograph and film everything — the stain, cracked or missing grout, blackened silicone, pooling — useful for a building manager, owners corporation or insurer. 5. If water is coming from a fitting, a burst pipe or a running tap rather than the tile joints, turn the water off at the isolation valve and call a licensed plumber. 6. Call 0466 532 444. Is this an emergency: - Water coming through the ceiling into the room or unit below — emergency, stop using it and call - Water running down a wall from the shower, or out under the wall — urgent, same-day inspection - A balcony with a damp patch on the ceiling beneath it, efflorescence on the tiles, or water sitting on the floor after rain — urgent, inspection - A musty smell, returning black mould, cracked or darkened grout with no visible leak — can wait, book an inspection - A burst pipe, no water pressure, or water from a tap fitting — call a licensed plumber first After-hours capability: we can inspect joint by joint, give a fixed quote, reseal at the surface with epoxy grout and flexible sealant, and in the vast majority of jobs complete the work without removing tiles. We cannot carry out plumbing work, provide leak assessments or detection reports or waterproofing certificates, or carry out water-damage restoration or dry-out. Emergency guide prices: leaking shower Basic floor reseal from $490; Plus reseal with the walls from $890; leaking balcony repair from $1,690. Standard 900 x 900 shower assumed; larger showers add $200. Document: https://sydneysealed.com.au/services/emergency-leak-repair.md ### 3.7 Shower Screen Sealing What it is: sealing the joints around a shower screen — frame, base and door strip — with mould-resistant sealant, so water stops escaping past the screen onto the bathroom floor. Includes cutting out the failed silicone, cleaning and drying the joints, applying mould-resistant sealant and checking the fixings. Guide pricing is confirmed on inspection, because screen type, size and joint condition vary. Page: https://sydneysealed.com.au/services/shower-screen-sealing ## 4. Pricing Leaking shower repair — two options: - Basic reseal — $490: cut out the failed shower floor grout; seal the floor with waterproof two-part epoxy grout; flexible sealant to the base, waste and corners; the leak stopped at the source. - Plus reseal — $890: everything in the Basic reseal, plus water-repellent, mould-resistant grout to the walls; mould stops returning to the wet wall joints; a fully refreshed, easier-to-clean shower. - Guide prices are for a standard 900 x 900 shower. Anything larger is an extra $200. Other services: - Leaking balcony repair — from $1,690. Epoxy grout, perimeter, doorway and step-down resealing. Price increases with the size of the balcony. - Epoxy regrout (showers) — from $890. Cut out tired, stained grout and regrout with hard-wearing epoxy grout. - Bathrooms and other tiled areas — on inspection. Quoted after an in-person inspection, or a rough estimate from photos. How pricing works: free on-site inspection; fixed quote before any work begins; Sydney-wide service with no inflated travel charges; project pricing for multi-balcony buildings; prices include GST plus epoxy grout, flexible sealant and labour. Document: https://sydneysealed.com.au/pricing.md ## 5. How a job runs 1. Get a free quote — tell us what is happening and send a few photos. 2. On-site inspection and fixed quote — we find what is causing the leak and confirm a firm price. A typical inspection takes around 20 to 30 minutes. 3. Cut out — the failed grout and perished sealant are cut out and the joints cleaned, so the new material bonds properly. 4. Seal — waterproof epoxy grout goes into every joint; the base, corners, waste and perimeter are resealed with flexible sealant. 5. Cure — the joint cures, we tidy up, and confirm when the shower or balcony is ready for normal use. Usually the next day. ## 6. Epoxy grout vs cement grout - Water resistance: epoxy is non-porous and repels water; cement grout is porous and absorbs it - Mould: epoxy is mould-resistant; cement grout feeds mould and black staining - Staining: epoxy wipes clean and resists stains; cement grout soaks up dirt and grime - Durability: epoxy forms a hard, durable bond; cement grout cracks and crumbles over time - Cleaning: epoxy needs a simple wipe-down; cement grout needs scrubbing - Typical lifespan: epoxy lasts many years (10+ years in a well-built shower); cement grout in a wet shower typically starts breaking down in 3 to 5 years - Suitable for: epoxy for showers, wet areas and outdoor/coastal tiling; cement grout for dry internal walls Epoxy grout is not applied over existing grout — the old grout is always cut out first, because applying epoxy over failing grout traps the problem underneath. ## 7.

If it is a balcony or the ceiling below one, it is a leaking balcony repair. If the grout is tired, stained or mouldy without a known leak, epoxy grout replacement is usually the fix. If unsure, get a free quote and we will point you in the right direction before any work begins. Will you need to remove my tiles? In the vast majority of jobs, no. We repair from the surface by cutting out the failed grout and sealant and reinstalling waterproof epoxy grout, so existing tiles stay exactly where they are. What is epoxy grout and why does it stop leaks? Epoxy grout is a two-part mix that cures hard and waterproof. Unlike standard cement grout it does not absorb water, so it seals the joints and stops water passing into the wall or slab below. Do you provide leak assessments, detection or waterproofing certificates? No. We do not offer leak assessments or leak-detection reports, and we are not a certifying waterproofing company. What we provide is a hands-on inspection to find where water is getting in, followed by a clear fixed quote for the repair. How soon can I use the shower or balcony again? Most showers and balconies are ready for normal use the next day once the epoxy grout and sealant have cured. Exact timing is confirmed on site. Do you work with strata and body corporate? Yes. Balcony repairs are often strata work, and we regularly coordinate with owners, tenants and building managers across Sydney, with the documentation the building needs. Is the work backed by a warranty? Yes — epoxy grout and resealing work is covered by a workmanship warranty, explained exactly before work starts. The regrouting service states a 10-year waterproof warranty on workmanship. Which areas of Sydney do you cover? The whole Sydney metro area — CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North and Upper North Shore, Northern Beaches, Forest District, Canterbury-Bankstown, St George, Sutherland Shire, Parramatta and Western Sydney, The Hills District, South-Western Sydney/Macarthur, and the Outer West/Blue Mountains fringe. ### Pricing How much does a leaking shower repair cost in Sydney? A Basic floor reseal starts from $490 and a Plus reseal — which also regrouts the walls — from $890. Guide prices are for a standard 900 x 900 shower including GST; anything larger adds $200, and a fixed price is confirmed on site. What does a leaking balcony repair cost? From $1,690, covering epoxy grout to the floor plus perimeter, doorway and step-down resealing. The final price scales with balcony size and is confirmed after inspection. Are your prices fixed, or just estimates? Fixed. We inspect first, explain what is causing the leak, and confirm a firm price before any work starts. Is the inspection and quote free? Yes — on-site inspections and quotes across the Sydney metro are free and carry no obligation. Do your prices include GST and materials? Yes. All guide prices are in Australian dollars and include GST plus the epoxy grout, flexible sealant and labour. Do you charge extra for travel across Sydney? No inflated travel charges. The job is quoted as a fixed price for the scope at the address; call with the suburb to confirm coverage and get a fixed quote before anything is booked. Do you offer project pricing for strata or multiple balconies? Yes. We work with owners, tenants and building managers, and offer project pricing for multi-balcony buildings and strata jobs with documentation. How much does shower regrouting cost? Guide pricing starts from $490 for a standard 900 x 900 shower reseal and from $890 for a full epoxy regrout that includes cutting out old grout and reinstalling waterproof Mapei epoxy. Larger showers, wall grout and balcony work are quoted individually. ### Grout What is the difference between regrouting and resealing? Regrouting replaces the grout between the tiles themselves. Resealing replaces the flexible sealant at the corners, perimeters and changes of plane. Depending on the job we recommend one or both. Is epoxy grout worth the extra cost? For showers and balconies, yes. Epoxy grout is far more water- and stain-resistant, so it stays clean for years rather than months. Can you match my existing grout colour? A range is stocked from crisp white to charcoal and warm earth tones; samples are brought to the inspection. How long does epoxy grout replacement take? Most standard showers or small bathroom floors are completed in a single day. Larger areas or full bathrooms may take longer; timing is confirmed up front. Will regrouting fix a leak as well? If the leak is caused by failed grout, yes — new epoxy grout seals those joints. If the perimeter sealant or the base is the problem, that is addressed too as part of the job. Does epoxy grout really stop mould? Yes. Mould needs moisture and a porous surface; epoxy grout is non-porous and does not hold water, so it removes the conditions mould thrives on. Can you regrout over the top of existing grout? No — old grout is always cut out first. Applying epoxy over failing grout traps the problem underneath. Is epoxy grout suitable for balconies and outdoors? Yes. It handles sun, rain and coastal salt far better than cement grout, which makes it ideal for Sydney balconies as well as indoor wet areas. Is epoxy grout safe for a family bathroom? Yes. Once cured it is hard, inert and easy to keep hygienically clean — suitable for family bathrooms, rentals and homes with kids. What is included in a grout replacement service? On-site inspection; cut-out and removal of old grout; installation of new epoxy grout; resealing of corners and perimeters; full clean-up before leaving. ### Showers and balconies How do I know if my shower is actually leaking? The clearest signs are a musty smell, mould that keeps returning along the base, cracked or darkened grout, and damp or stained ceilings in the room below. Do you remove tiles to fix a leaking shower? In almost every case, no. We repair from the surface by cutting out failed grout and silicone and rebuilding the joints with waterproof epoxy grout. Is a reseal cheaper than renovating the bathroom? Significantly. Resealing usually costs a fraction of a full retile and fixes the leak at the source. Who is responsible for a leaking balcony — me or the strata? It depends on the building's by-laws and whether the leak is inside the lot or on common property. We work with both owners and building managers and can supply documentation to help strata decide. Will the balcony tiles have to come up? No. We repair from the surface by cutting out the failed grout and sealant and reinstalling waterproof epoxy grout. Can you repair several balconies in the same building? Yes. Multi-balcony projects are common and more efficient to run together; work is scheduled around residents and can be phased. How do I know the leak is actually from the balcony? Water staining on the ceiling below, salt-like white staining on the tiles, or damp near the balcony door are the usual giveaways. An inspection confirms where water is getting in. Does this fix proper DIY waterproofing? No — it is a targeted repair of the tile joints and perimeters using epoxy grout and flexible sealant, not a membrane replacement. We say so plainly when a membrane is the real fix. Can I use my shower while I wait for the repair? No. Every use pushes more water through the failed joint and spreads the damage into the wall, the slab or the room below. Use another bathroom if possible until it has been inspected. Do you come out at night? Emergency call-outs are available 24/7 on 0466 532 444. The visit is scheduled on the call and the reseal is carried out where and when it is safe to do so. Do you provide a report for strata or my insurer? We provide a fixed written quote and documentation for strata jobs. We do not provide leak detection reports, leak assessments or waterproofing certificates. ### Strata Do you work directly with strata and building managers? Yes. Multi-unit and common-property repairs are regular work, coordinated directly with strata managers, building managers and owners corporations, with an itemised scope and photo documentation. Can you repair several balconies or units in the same building? Yes — common work in unit blocks, usually more efficient to run together and phaseable around access, lifts and residents. Who pays for a leaking balcony in a strata building? It depends on the by-laws and whether the leak affects common property or an individual lot. We document exactly what we find so the strata manager and committee can decide with the facts. ### Contact What happens after I send a message? Your message and photos are read, then we reply with next steps — usually a question or two and an offer to book a free on-site inspection. No pressure, no obligation. How quickly will you reply? Open 24/7, so usually within a few hours. If water is spreading quickly, stop using the shower or balcony and call 0466 532 444 so the inspection can be prioritised. How long does an inspection take? Around 20 to 30 minutes — joints, base, waste and perimeters are checked, then findings and a fixed quote are explained. Can I just call instead of using the form? Yes — call 0466 532 444 any time, or email info@sydneysealed.com.au. The form is simply the quickest way to send photos with the details.
